Learn 5 Types of Meditation at The Chattery

What if you knew that you haven't failed at meditating, you just haven't found the right style for you?

And that a meditation practice can actually create more time and space in your day?

This class will introduce you to five different types of meditation and show you how to easily integrate a practice into your already full schedule. It will also include a short energy session (similar to Reiki) if you'd like to participate in that offering as well.

Benefits of Meditation:

  • Create a feeling of inner peace

  • Calm the "monkey mind"

  • Build protection circles

  • Connect to your inner wisdom

  • Become more creative & effective

  • Connect more deeply to God/Source/The Universe

  • Help restore your body's natural state of health

  • Feel more fully alive

You will leave the class feeling more relaxed and empowered with tools to begin a practice that is aligned with your lifestyle, schedule, needs, and desires. This could just be the piece you have been missing to have your most fulfilling year yet.

Come as you are. This class is perfect for beginners as well as experienced meditators. Feel free to bring a journal and pen with you as well.

Connecting to Your Inner Wise Woman
Apr
5
6:00 PM18:00

Connecting to Your Inner Wise Woman

It's time to reclaim our power, our joy, our voices, and our soul sisters.

We live in a world that doesn't fully celebrate the feminine energy. We see this reflected in our own health & well-being, the state of the world, and the condition of Mother Earth.

This workshop will teach you how to listen to, connect to and honor the inner wisdom that lives inside you, allowing you to step more fully into your personal power. We'll practice energy work similar to Reiki (but of the Vedic tradition), learn and chant mantras for meditation, and use the 5 elements of nature (earth, fire, sky, water and air) to transform negativity and stress.

Say NOPE to playing small, not feeling well enough & thinking a mani/pedi counts as total self-care. We, as women, deserve more.

Eyes are the Windows to the Soul (Online Workshop)

Learn to send positive energy to others using their photo.
Use the power of the 5 Elements to release stress.
————

Looking for a way to feel more connected to your loved ones?

Been hoping to try a new type of meditation?

Wanting to send positive energy to others during this time?

--------

Many of us are missing loved ones who are either too far away, too fearful of getting sick or have passed on.

We have friends & family who need support but we're often uncertain how to help.

We, ourselves, are feeling the weight of these heavy & stressful times & could use a little TLC too.

Ancient Vedic texts reveal the secrets of Eye Shakti- sending positive energy to another's soul using a very specific process. This workshop will teach you to connect to any person/soul using their photo & a mantra to send them loving, healing energy. It will also teach you how to decharge (let go of negativity & stress you may be holding onto) by using one of the 5 Elements of nature (earth, fire, sky, water & air).

These are really beautiful practices taught to me in India. You'll leave this workshop with a warm heart, feeling connected to your loved one, & with tools you can use anytime you want to feel relaxed & connected- 2 qualities that are proven to increase longevity & overall health & wellness.

*These teachings are not connected to any specific religion- they are Ancient Vedic practices focused on love & the healing energy of nature. All beliefs are welcome & respected.

Be #FullOfYourself! (Living a Voluptuous Life, Part 5/5)

***PART 5 WILL BE DEDICATED TO RBG. WE WILL FOCUS ON CONNECTING TO THE FEMININE POWER WITHIN US TO KEEP HER MISSION OF JUSTICE AND EQUALITY MOVING FORWARD.

"Selfless women make for an efficient society but not a beautiful, true or just one. When women lose themselves, the world loses its way....What we need right now is more women who have detoxed themselves so completely from the world's expectations that they are full of nothing but themselves....A woman who is full of herself knows and trusts herself enough to say and do what must be done." - Glennon Doyle (Untamed).

———————————-

Living a Voluptuous Life is about discovering & celebrating the FULLNESS of who we really are. In each hour-long session, we will dedicate 10 minutes to exploring your heart, 10 to your mind, 10 to your body, and 10 to your spirit using simple but powerful practices that engage all 6 of your senses.

6?? Yup, check out my homepage to understand what I mean: Voluptuous Life.com.

You will leave each session with tools and experiences that shape your life into a more "authentically YOU" reality.

Say NOPE to playing small, not feeling well enough, and thinking a mani/pedi counts as total self-care. We deserve more. It's time you became #FullOfYourself.

RESERVE YOUR TICKET HERE.


***You will receive an email with the Zoom link prior to the event. If you don’t receive the link, please email Kristen@Kristen-Joy.com

I, Kristen, will be introducing you to a really cool MEDITATION practice you've probably never experienced before (unless you've been attending my recent Wellset events). The YOGA series will be designed by the lovely Leah Pozsgay to complement these intentions perfectly.
There will be 2 poses and they are suitable for all skill levels.

This 75-minute event is DONATION-BASED so please give what you can (while still saving money to donate to your favorite woman-owned Black businesses and charities).

Morning Healing Meditation- Using the Water Element

This is a really beautiful practice to feel connected to others- and to nature- during this time of social distancing. It’s also a blessing to be part of the solutions we need on the planet right now.

——————————-

Of course, you have heard that "eyes are the windows to the soul".

Ancient Vedic texts reveal the power of Eye Shakti- sending healing energy to another's soul using a very specific eye process. For this home practice, you will need a photo of the soul you'd like to work with. I will also teach you how to decharge any stress or negativity you may be carrying, using the power of the 5 Elements: fire, water, air, sky & earth. In this series, we will focus on the Water element so you will need a bowl of rose or regular water.
